Na David Swanson, World BEYOND War, Fepeluali 12, 2023

Ua kakau au i keia malalo iho i hoike i ka Ahaolelo Nui o Maryland no ke kokua ana i ka bila HB0220

Ua hiki i kahi hui koho balota US i kapa ʻia ʻo Zogby Research Services ke koho balota i nā pūʻali koa US ma Iraq i ka makahiki 2006, a ua ʻike ʻo 72 ka nui o ka poʻe i koho ʻia i makemake e hoʻopau i ke kaua ma 2006. No ka poʻe i loko o ka Pūʻali, 70 ka nui o ka makemake i ka lā hopena o 2006. akā ma ka Marines he 58 pakeneka wale nō i hana. I loko o nā waihona a me ka National Guard, ʻo nā helu he 89 a me 82 pakeneka. ʻOiai mākou e lohe ana i kahi mele mau ma ka pāpaho e pili ana i ka hoʻomau ʻana i ke kaua "no nā pūʻali," ʻaʻole makemake ka pūʻali e hoʻomau. A ʻo nā mea a pau, he mau makahiki ma hope mai, ʻae lākou ua pololei nā pūʻali.

Akā, no ke aha i ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o nā helu, ʻoi aku ka pololei, no ke Kiaʻi? ʻO kekahi wehewehe ʻana no ka hapa liʻiliʻi o ka ʻokoʻa, ʻo ia nā ʻano hana hoʻokipa ʻokoʻa, ke ala ʻokoʻa loa e komo ai ka poʻe i ka Guard Guard. I ka pōkole, hui pū ka poʻe i ke kiaʻi ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana i nā hoʻolaha no ke kōkua ʻana i ka lehulehu i nā pōʻino kūlohelohe, ʻoiai ke komo nei nā kānaka i ka pūʻali koa ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana i nā hoʻolaha no ke komo ʻana i nā kaua. He hewa ke hoʻouna ʻia i ke kaua ma muli o ka wahaheʻe; ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻouna ʻia ʻana i ke kaua ma ke kumu o ka wahaheʻe a me nā hoʻolaha hoʻolaha hoʻopunipuni.

Aia kekahi ʻokoʻa mōʻaukala ma waena o ke kiaʻi a i ʻole ka militia a me ka pūʻali koa. ʻO ke kuʻuna o nā pūʻali koa mokuʻāina he kūpono ia e hoʻohewa ʻia no kāna kuleana i ka hoʻokauwā a me ka hoʻonui. ʻO ka manaʻo ma ʻaneʻi, he kuʻuna ia i holomua i nā makahiki mua o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e kūʻē i ka mana federal, me ke kūʻē ʻana i ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi pūʻali koa kū. ʻO ka hoʻouna ʻana i ke kiaʻi a i ʻole ka militia i nā kaua, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka hana ʻana me ka ʻole o ka noʻonoʻo nui ʻana o ka lehulehu, ʻo ia ka hoʻolilo ʻana i ke kiaʻi i ʻāpana o ka pūʻali koa kūʻokoʻa loa a mamao loa i ʻike ʻia e ka honua.

No laila, inā paha e ʻae kekahi e hoʻouna ʻia ka pūʻali koa US i nā kaua, ʻoiai me ka ʻole o ka hoʻolaha kaua ʻana o ka Congressional, aia nā kumu paʻa no ka mālama ʻana i ke kiaʻi.

Akā, pono anei e hoʻouna ʻia kekahi i ke kaua? He aha ke kānāwai o ia mea? ʻO ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i nā kuʻikahi like ʻole e pāpā ana i nā kaua a pau, i kekahi mau mea ʻē aʻe. Aia kēia mau mea:

The 1899 Hui no ka hooponopono ana i na hoopaapaa o ka Pakipika

ka Hague Convention o ka 1907

The 1928 ʻO Kellogg-Briand Pact

The 1945 Ka UN Charter

Nā ʻōlelo hoʻoholo like ʻole o UN, e like me 2625 a 3314

The 1949 NATO palapala hoʻohui

The 1949 Ahaʻehā o Geneva

The 1976 Kuikahi International e pili ana i nā pono kīvila a me nā pono politika (ICCPR) a me ka Kuʻikahi International e pili ana i nā pono waiwai, pilikanaka, a me ka moʻomeheu

The 1976 Kuʻikahi o ke aloha a me ke kuʻikahi ma Asia Hikina Hema

Akā inā mākou e mālama i ke kaua ma ke kānāwai, ua ʻōlelo ke Kumukānāwai US ʻo ka Congress, ʻaʻole ka pelekikena a i ʻole ka luna kānāwai, nona ka mana e haʻi aku i ke kaua, e hoʻāla a kākoʻo i nā pūʻali (no ʻelua makahiki i ka manawa) , a "e hoʻolako i ke kiʻi ʻana i ka Militia e hoʻokō i nā kānāwai o ka Union, e hoʻopau i nā kipi a e kipi aku i nā Invasions."

I kēia manawa, loaʻa iā mākou kahi pilikia i kēlā mau kaua i hala aku nei ua lōʻihi ka lōʻihi ma mua o ʻelua mau makahiki a ʻaʻohe mea e pili ana i ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā kānāwai, ke kāohi ʻana i nā kipi, a i ʻole ka pale ʻana i nā hoʻouka kaua. Akā inā mākou e hoʻokaʻawale i kēlā mau mea āpau, ʻaʻole ia he mana no ka pelekikena a i ʻole ka bureaucracy, akā no ka Congress.

'Ōleloʻo HB0220: "ʻAʻole e hiki i ke Kiaaina ke kauoha aku i ka pūʻali koa a i ʻole kekahi lālā o ka pūʻali koa i loko o ka hakakā ʻoihana ke ʻole i hala ka ʻaha kūkā o ʻAmelika i kahi ʻōlelo hoʻolaha no ke kaua a i ʻole i hoʻokō i kahi kauoha, 8, CLAUSE 15 o ke Kumukānāwai o ʻAmelika e kāhea pono aku i ka MILITIA STATE5 a i ʻole kekahi lālā o ka pūʻali koa mokuʻāina e hoʻokō i nā kānāwai o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, e hoʻopau i kahi hoʻouka kaua, a i ʻole e pale i kahi kipi."

ʻAʻole i hoʻoholo ka ʻAhaʻōlelo i kahi hoʻolaha kūhelu o ke kaua mai 1941, ke ʻole ka wehewehe ʻana o ka hana ʻana pēlā. ʻO nā ʻae kumukānāwai i hoʻoholo ʻia ʻaʻole ia e hoʻokō i nā kānāwai, e hoʻopau i nā kipi, a i ʻole e pale aku i nā hoʻouka kaua. E like me nā kānāwai āpau, HB0220 e lilo i ka wehewehe. Akā e hoʻokō ʻo ia i ʻelua mau mea no kekahi.

• E hoʻokumu ʻo HB0220 i ka hiki ke mālama i ka militia o Maryland mai nā kaua.
• E hoʻouna ʻo HB0220 i kahi leka i ke aupuni US e hāʻawi ana ka mokuʻāina ʻo Maryland i kahi kūʻē, hiki ke kōkua i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana.

Manaʻo ʻia nā kamaʻāina o ʻAmelika e hōʻike pololei ʻia i ka ʻAhaʻōlelo, akā he mea hou aʻe, manaʻo ʻia ko lākou aupuni kūloko a mokuʻāina e pani iā ​​​​lākou i ka ʻaha kūkā. ʻO ke kau ʻana i kēia kānāwai he ʻāpana ia o ka hana ʻana pēlā. Hoʻouna mau nā kūlanakauhale, nā kūlanakauhale, a me nā mokuʻāina i nā palapala noi i ka ʻaha kūkā no nā ʻano noi āpau. Ua ʻae ʻia kēia ma lalo o ka Paukū 3, Rula XII, Pauku 819, o nā Rula o ka Hale o nā Lunamakaʻāinana. Hoʻohana mau ʻia kēia māhele no ka ʻae ʻana i nā palapala noi mai nā kūlanakauhale, a me nā hoʻomanaʻo mai nā mokuʻāina, a puni ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Hoʻokumu ʻia ia ma ka Jefferson Manual, ka puke lula no ka Hale i kākau mua ʻia e Thomas Jefferson no ka Senate.
